5. How to get out of awkward situations

Nobody likes to be in an awkward situation! Everyone can get into awkward sitches, but by far, girl's awkward situations are way worse! Here are some common ones:

#1.You and your best mate are goofing around but you don't realise until it's too late that EVERYONE IN THE UNIVERSE was watching!

#2.You have to talk really loud in a crowded area to your girl friend(s) about boyfriends, bras and other girl stuff then -BAM!- people suddenly lower their voices by 80% and for about 3 seconds, before you realise the lowering in volume, you're shouting things like

"YEAH TRACY IS SUCH A SNOB AND I BET SHE STUFFS HER BRA!"

or

"OMG AARON IS SO CUTE RIGHT?" or basically any embarrassing thing you happened to be talking about.

So here is how to AVOID that!

1. If you find yourself in a loud, crowded place and want to talk to your mate, just say calmly (but fairly loudly)

"Hey, can we go somewhere quieter? it's too loud here!". Then find somewhere with fewer people. You'll find that if the place is quite from the start, people are probably doing some quiet activity that is occupying their brain, so they may hear you but won't be interested.

2. Avoid talking about personal matters in public. It's fine to talk about personal interests, just so long as they aren't too specific. E.G if your eating cheese, you could say

"I love cheese, it's just so nice! What's your favourite food?" Or if you are going to or have seen a movie, talk about the movie.

You can plan later outings and discuss what you would like to do next on this one.

Ever had an awkward moment with boys? Here's how not to!

1. To avoid stuttering, ask a question that you would upon meeting and having a conversation with a person on the street, such as

"What do you like doing in your spare time?". If you don't know his name, ask for it!

2. Lost for words? Strike up conversation using these openers!

The other day, something CRAZY happened...

I was just telling my friend about this...

I really like your...

3. If you haven't met him before, be courteous and say

"Hi there! I'm (your name here), have I seen you before?" and put out a hand for him to shake. He'll answer, and you can follow the above tips to have a nice chat.

Ever had friends round to your house and a parent embarrasses you? This is what to do!

1. Let's say your mum has washed your Hello Kitty underwear (come on, everyone has a pair), and she presents them to you an asks

"Could you take these up to your room?". There are a couple of ways of getting through this situation. Tell your friends, as you are walking to your room,

"My (insert relative) gave them to me for christmas. Kinda weird how when you're my age all your presents are clothes. Hey, what was the WORST present you ever got?"
